The
turmoil in Afghanistan has increased considerably during
the last few months, as the Taliban and other forces
opposed to the current government, see opportunities to
extend their power bases. Karsai's government is weak,
corrupt and not much liked and one often gets the
impression, that his power base does not go much beyond
the borders of Kabul.

Work in
this environment is, by its very nature, linked
to considerable risks. Though, this might be
compensated by high pay and other benefits.

Places
like Afghanistan and other overseas job markets
in the region are changing fast. Employment
opportunities are plenty, even though,
the number of people leaving the Armed Forces
flood the market with military personnel with
overseas experience and security clearances. In
addition, there are thousands of contractors
moving from one contracting company to another.

But, despite these prevailing market
conditions, with the right training and knowledge
about jobs, one can find lots of well
paid employment opportunities with American, British and
German Contractors in Afghanistan and other
areas surrounding it.

Some other jobs for specialist in
agriculture, translation and education are also
available. If you are looking for a challenging
civilian job in which you can serve while being
well paid and
making a true contribution to world peace, you
might want to try to work for one of the contractors that
support the NATO and Coalition
Provisional Authority (CPA) effort in
Afghanistan.

If you
intend to be part of that effort, you have to understand
that conditions are harsh, primitive and
hazardous. Prior experience in the military
will be a big help in adapting to the environment and
doing the job. Most jobs will be offered for 12-month
tours, with options to extend. The hiring
companies are a lot more secretive than they
used to be and only few jobs get advertised. Moreover,
sometimes it is more important "who you know"
than "what you know".

To
research who hires for jobs in Afghanistan, where and for
what jobs will take you weeks, if not months. This
would cost you a lot of money as well as time and effort.
Keeping your database up to date in the changing
environment of the government contractors will cost you
further time and effort. We have already done
that for you.

We
will send your application by e-mail to
companies, who hire contractors for Afghanistan
and the surrounding area and
who are in search of your skills.
So, we will send it to the right
companies, not on some wild goose chase!The number of interested companies will
depend on the skills you offer. These companies
will then directly contact you, when they have an
opening and need your skills, agreeing
directly with you their employment
conditions.

Many jobs
in Afghanistan are "high turnover
jobs". It means that people will stay for
one tour at the time, then go home and sometimes
come back later for another tour. It also means
that employers will at all times keep a large
number of potential employees on file, so that
they can replace contractors leaving quickly.An
important issue will be to have a well written resume
and KSA at hand, so that the
potential employer sees what you are capable of,
and immediately knows where he can use you. Using
